[@GCITurf]

Thank for the math. The time stamp I used is the time stamp that shows up on my editing software. It may be a little different from the youtube time stamp. Either way the point is efficency... appreciate you friend

Pete from GCI is everyone's spray buddy!

I have to get one of these this year! Much more efficient than the 5 backpack sprayers I’ve been using on 1.75 acres.

[@Shunya0101]

Always top notch equipment, products and experience with GCI. Appreciate your standards and care for your customers.

[@GCITurf]

Only the best for GCI customers!

Thanks for the pointers on mixing and winding the hose back up. Hope to see more of these type of videos with the cart buddy!! Thank you sir!

[@GCITurf]

yes sir you bet! i will make a LOT of these type videos this year bro! Appreciate you!

Yes nice from PA. Plants absorb liquids quick. Quick results.

I need this in my life! Watching out for it in the bookface group

@@J91934 lol good point

[@PaulStephens-ie8vl]

i like your passion for your country

[@rbljackson]

For those considering this...I want to mention that hose reel looks to be the EXACT same hose reel that is on my skid sprayer, so you are getting quality components from what I can see. Also....i love this rolling cart concept! Great set up pete. I was out today spraying yards myself. Went thru 300 gallons today (150K sq feet of turf areas) using a skid / gun. Got after it.And yep....im feeling it too brother! LOL

[@GCITurf]

You are correct friend. We have been using Hannay reels 20 years. It’s the only reel I’ll use.

[@rbljackson]

@@GCITurf yes sir....they make a great reel. I have them on both my skid sprayers.

[@DavidPRO50545]

@@GCITurfHey Pete does the reel have a drag adjustment?

[@GCITurf]

@@DavidPRO50545 yes sir. It does

[@chriswillaimson8286]

Well..... What is the price for that setup?

[@monkeyslawncareandgardenin473]

Do you add water at the end to finish the product over the yard?

[@logansimpson5980]

Great video

[@rubenharris9241]

I have the Mix Buddy. Although it is too early in the season for me to use it, I am impressed by the build quality and strength of the agitation. Slightly off topic but wanted to provide the feedback….

[@GCITurf]

Awesome! It will work as good as it’s built.

[@matthewgainey8174]

Is there a rough terrain wheel option or maybe forklift hole option for transporting with a tractor with forks?

[@davidcrowson4745]

That's cool stuff

[@mooch91]

Been looking for something like this. Looks like an amazing setup, and the quality appears to be top-notch. I'd love it, but unfortunately not sure I can justify the price tag as a homeowner.

[@markhouston4473]

Nice looking sprayer Pete, how do you calibrate with the different pressure regulator for this model, do you walk at a particular pace and adjust the numbers? Could you show us? Thanks for all you do?

[@GCITurf]

Calibration process is identical regardless of the equipment.

[@richardharwell]

That five gallon 110-volt spray kit looks like it would do great on my yard of five thousand square feet. I might have to order some expensive jewelry for my wife and get scammed because some spray equipment shows up instead. 😅

[@GCITurf]

If your yard is 5k squ ft get the 10G sprayer. Trust me on this. And yeah a nice fat diamond will cover your tracks 😂

[@lavelburch6920]

Is there a reason for the dial pressure regulator? Will it be an option for all Spray Buddies?

[@GCITurf]

Slightly easier to use. Less fittings. Slightly less cost. Many factors went into going this route with the larger unit. Yes at some point I’ll offer this kit to folks like yourself who’ve bought a GCI sprayer. But what you have works fantastically.

[@sj7601]

Any plans to have additional Greene County products available on website, or any fertilizer sales for Spring?

[@GCITurf]

What do you mean by “additional”. I carry everything the offer to diy and they all in stock right now

[@sj7601]

@@GCITurf I mean new / existing ones that may not already be on the website. Wasn't sure if GC had any new products for the year. Would love to see a 5 gallon bundle deal on GCI fertilizers if prices allow.

[@samuelfeguer]

How much liquid is left in the hose at the end of the spray? Seems like it could be a considerable amount with a 300 foot hose.

[@GCITurf]

Not much. I flush it out on the turf using water

[@DavidPRO50545]

Hey Pete do you have specs on the pump or pictures of where the pump mounts? What’s the overall weight?

[@GCITurf]

7 GPM 100 PSI mounts on the side. Not sure about the weight I’d have to weigh it

[@The81titans]

Spray pump so much faster no playing around with a hose

[@GCITurf]

[@ericnoland6466]

Hey Pete, if you were spraying contact herbicides (2,4 D, etc) would you still use that Lesco gun or would you use something more like a teejet nozzle setup?

[@GCITurf]

In commercial world we been using lesco gun for 20 years for any and all applications. You’ll find this to be true with thousands of companies

[@ericnoland6466]

@@GCITurf I figured. Thanks! And with 2 gallon per minute, the extra volume over, say, a backpack sprayer really helps with the coverage issue, I imagine.

[@GCITurf]

@@ericnoland6466absolutely. Considerably better coverage

[@hendrymuljadi739]

Pete, will it ruin the pump if the liquid runs completely empty?

[@GCITurf]

No. Just when you done spraying cut the pump off and you good

[@anthonyflacke]

Is it towable? If so just add a Honda inverter Generator. They only use 1.2 gallon of fuel all day long. And they are super quiet.

[@GCITurf]

I do not recomend towing this

[@mjstavalone]

hey Pete is the 50g spray buddy available for purchase. I do not see it on your website. Thanks Mike

[@GCITurf]

Still waiting on boxes. Should be any day now

[@nickshively1192]

Hey brother Pete, by any chance in the near future. Will you be selling those with automatic reels?

[@GCITurf]

I could easily do that now but you’d have to have a power source for the reel to work

[@michaellagzdins8002]

Pete, I see up to a 20 gallon cart buddy available, no 50 gallon; that’s what I’m looking for.

[@Tigerdmd04]

Getting excited - is there a way for me to adapt that 110 to a 12 volt and power with my gator, etc?

[@GCITurf]

No BUT I can easily get you a 12V pump and you can connect that to your battery on your gator... super simple. When i make the product active in a couple weeks I will make that an option to buy.

[@Tigerdmd04]

@@GCITurf awesome - thanks

[@richscott2952]

Just get a small Honda generator

[@brandtstone7744]

Can’t wait to see the results! Two things, it kinda freaks me out to see the cars fly by as you walk close to the road. Second,do you ever wear a mask when spraying? Just looking out for ya😊

[@GCITurf]

I watch for the cars. Trust me I do. You can’t see it in the videos but I look out with my eyes. I don’t wear a mask… for any reason lawncare or other…. Haven’t wore one since day one. I actually don’t personally know one single pro or amateur applicator that wears one. I do appreciate your concern friend

Has anyone out the 10g spray buddy on a cart yet i definitely need more then 250ft of hose to reach my backyard

[@GCITurf]

The 50G option will have 300’ of 1/2” hose. Won’t be long it will be available

[@ColeSpolaric]

All i can say is that looks expensive 😆. As far as battery power, if it were me, I'd consider using the DeWalt flex volt battery. A pump that runs at 54v is much more efficient than one running at 18v. (Any 20v battery runs at 18v)

[@GCITurf]

Howdy Mr. Cole. I dont know of a 7GPM 100 PSI spray grade pump you can use with that dewalt battery. I have 2 of those dewalt bateries. If by all means let me know if you know of a pump that will work I am all ears. It is an investment for sure but you have to look at the companents to understand the investment. I only use top of the line best of the best components that are made in America and are built to last. Not to mention lifetime customer service form me or my staff as long as we are alive and in business. You get what you pay for.

[@ColeSpolaric]

@@GCITurf I didn't say it doesn't deserve to be expensive. I'm just looking at all those components and it looks like at a minimum $500 in parts and it's probably way more than that!

@@ColeSpolaric$500 you not even close bro. Lol. Did you find me a spray pump that will work with the dewalt flex battery???
